Wow, Lots of "nerds" here. How do I get one of those jobs? I am a Sheet metal mechanic, currently doing mods and rework on Blackhawks for the Air Force and going to school at the ripe age of 30. Great work schedule to play golf, or go home and take care of honey-do's, schoolwork, and help with the new baby... New Baby wins more than golf right now, but I am still working on the game.


I'm a communications manager for the agency responsible for building and maintaining our state highway network here in NZ.  Engaging work, and once daylight saving starts in a couple of weeks, we'll see just how flexible they are in letting me sneak off early for golf.

Retired Mechanical engineer graduated from LSU. I'm starting a side business selling certified organic spices and knife sharpening.

I can no longer play golf but I still enjoy watching and listening to The Golf Channel on the radio. I don't think I yet understand the FedEx Cup points system unless they zero out everyone for the final hosted by Coca Cola.

I wrote all of the software in the early days because the very expensive accounting software could not do the job. I've written a great deal of programs in my career which really helped with Excel. I've written a very complex spread sheet that almost ran out of columns for our Defense contracting company. How's life in Cabodia and are you a native?

I'm the production manager for an Architectural Millwork Company in  South Florida, we specialize in high end custom wood work 50k-5m projects. Its a family owned company.

Came across this thread and not sure if I've ever posted in it. Anyway, in addition to being Community Director here in TST my main gig is in acquisition, renting and sale of an investment properties. I got into the mortgage business out of college and had some early success.

I left at the right time, then tried my hand in a couple other businesses (creative writing, day trading, investing in a media company). Eventually found my way back into real estate and in the past several years I've been slowly growing my own real estate investment portfolio. Planning on some good things happening with this in the next year (expanding, bringing in partners).

I'm an attorney, which has really cut into my golfing since my law school days. Now I think about golf a lot more than I play.

Coach (me) to player, "Hey, what percentage of putts left short never go in?"  Player, "Coach, 100% of putts left short never go in."  Coach (me), "Exactly."  Player, "Coach what percentage of putts that go long never go in."  LOL!


I work at a sign-making company. We do more visual management than signs. I have the title of 'general assistant' which seems to mean I have zero authority but can be made responsible for anything the management care to blame me for.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
